Prediction: 1-0

FC Astana

Thanks to a 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv Slavia Prague moved one step closer to booking their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League. The Czech team sit in second place in Group A ahead of their last group match, but they are only one point clear of third-placed Astana. The hosts are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Thursday’s football game against the Kazakhstan champions. Astana, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 loss to Villarreal in their penultimate group game and, as a result, they have slim chances of making it to the last 32. The visitors need to pick up all three points from the Eden Arena clash if they are to advance to the next round, but that is easier said than done. Slavia Prague have been in a fine form of late and we predict Jaroslav Silhavy’s men will get their job done in the decider.
